One of the absolute highlights of the summer for me is experiencing Pageant of the Masters and the Festival of the Arts.  If you haven’t had the opportunity to experience Pageant of the Masters, You must this year! I promise it will not disappoint. Pageant of the Masters is hard to almost describe because it just such a breathtaking experience. If I had to put it in words I would say that simply put it is the greatest art work brought to life.

This year is a huge year for my family because I’m finally taking my daughter. She is 6 years old and has sat through two broadway type shows and I think it is the perfect time to introduce her to the Pageant experience and to the Festival of the Arts.

The Theme of this year’s Pageant is “Only Make Believe“. The 2011 Pageant of the Masters is venturing into magical artistic realms. Only Make Believe is described as “a passport to explore worlds populated by ancient and modern superheroes and strange, mythical creatures. It will also showcase the creative expressions of artists who devoted themselves to conjuring everything from Victorian historical fantasies, illustrations for fairytales beginning “once upon a time,” to futuristic visions of things to come, all in a breathtaking performance of “art that lives and breathes.” This is a great show for the whole family. The little ones might be a little wiggly but if your kiddo can sit through a movie or a broadway type show they would enjoy the show.

It is also one of the best date night ideas ever. I’ve been with my husband  a few times and it is such an incredible experience to sit and watch the show under the stars as art really does come to life.

I’m hoping to watch the show within the next few weeks and will also be posting any promotions or discounts that I can find. Last year they had a two for one ticket sale price that was incredible. Stay tuned for a review and promotions.

The Pageant of the Masters 2011 will take place from July 7th to August 31st.
